Detective Tom Lange faced an extended and grueling day of testimony, with the prosecution conducting extensive redirect examination to rehabilitate its investigation against defense attacks on chain of custody, evidence procedures, and investigative protocols. The defense secured an order for in camera review of Detective Fuhrman's personnel records, while contentious disputes erupted over DNA testing disclosures and the scope of expert testimony. Multiple sidebars punctuated the day as both sides battled over evidentiary admissibility and discovery violations.

• Video evidence showed Detective Lange carrying the recovered Reebok shoes under his arm to his car before driving 36-38 miles home, a previously undisclosed detail Cochran used to challenge the chain of custody.
• Cochran pressed Lange on an apparent fabrication in his notes: a reference to 'Wong' at the SID lab, who apparently did not exist.
• Judge Ito ordered in camera review of Fuhrman's personnel files targeting three IA investigations (New Yorker article, cartoon with a Nazi-like symbol, alleged statements about Nicole Brown Simpson).
• The prosecution sought to introduce a videotape of Bundy crime-scene closure procedures to counter contamination allegations; Judge Ito deferred ruling pending private review.
• DNA results on Nicole Brown Simpson's fingernail scrapings disclosed: consistent with Nicole's own blood, triggering discovery dispute between prosecution and defense.
• Multiple sidebars addressed hearsay objections, expert testimony scope, and limitations on detective's theory-of-case statements.
